I got the crawfish whole platter. super good. seasoning was spiced super well. the servers were all very kind and answered questions I had. atmosphere is nice especially outdoors! I also had a shrimp alfredo pasta and it was on the saltier end

I have eaten here in many occasions and each and every time the food was delicious. I got what they called the Crazy Cajun Poboy that was their version of the roast beef Poboy they made with pork roast. I found the chunks of meat to be a little large but manageable. The flavor was very good. I have in the past gotten the crawfish Poboy and enjoyed it greatly. Others in my party got other dishes they also enjoyed. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a good meal.

Best crawfish in Birmingham. The atmosphere is perfect. The servers we could not ask for a better set up. These people are Cajuns and know how it’s done. If you’re lucky enough to be in Birmingham during crawfish season do NOT sleep on them. Best in the city. I’ve had everywhere else it’s all bogus. The rumalade here is a boil necessity.

I stop here every now and then for lunch since I work across the street and I have not had a bad experience yet. I'm a little disappointed I never come on days they have crawfish etouffee so it's always shrimp. The shrimp etouffee is delicious though so I'm always happy with it. My service today was great she was very attentive always right there when I needed anything and got me in and out within 20 mins I was very happy and impressed...

The rotini, gator, fish, pickles, grits, crawfish….EVERYTHING is delicious!!! You won’t find a better staff or more hospitable owners! There’s a reason they’ve been in business for 25 years.

Wonderful place for authentic Cajun food.You can always tell a place is good based on the how busy it is.Food was authentic and served piping hot. Also, the waitress (Lulu) was the hardest working server I have ever seen. She runs back and forth with all these hot liquid dishes with a great big smile or her face. I estimate she is doing the work of 3 people...When you walk in, you are immediately hit by all the rich, delicious smells from the kitchen. I ordered the BBQ shrimp plate. For those you are not familiar, this is a butter based sauce with Cajun seasoned shrimp served with bread (see picture). It is not what people traditionally think of BBQ.An absolute must visit if you are in Birmingham traveling south on 280. Not only will I be back, I plan on entertaining business colleagues here as well.

What a wonderful time. The food was great! The service was friendly and sweet. I'm thinking about going back over to order the soft shell crab poboy for a snack.
